I started every client consultation by saying: ‘let’s talk about your monthly income and annual income goals.’

You’d be amazed how many business owners say they don’t have any.

In this episode, I talk to jewellery school owner Jessica Rose about the importance of tracking the numbers in your business – and how doing just that helps her generate almost 95% profit for her online jewellery school – meaning she can earn more for doing less.

Jess explains how tracking your numbers doesn’t need to be complicated or scary and shares the simple financial and budgeting template she uses to keep her focused.
